Tottenham have made the surprising decision to sack manager Mauricio Pochettino after a hugely disappointing start to the season.
The Argentine led Spurs to top-four finishes in four of his five seasons in charge, as well as their first Champions League final last term.
However, Tottenham have won just five matches this season and chairman Daniel Levy said a change had to be made in the “club’s best interests”.
“We were extremely reluctant to make this change,” said Levy.
“It is not a decision the board has taken lightly, nor in haste. Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing.”
“It falls on the board to make the difficult decisions – this one made more so given the many memorable moments we have had with Mauricio and his coaching staff – but we do so in the club’s best interests.”
